Here at Tulane we have a PBX system where each phone has its own number;
you dial directly to the phone on my desk.  A friend of mine has caller
ID, and the number that shows on his caller ID box is NOT the number you
would have to call to reach me.  In fact, it isn't the same number every
time I call.   He has tried calling the number that shows up on his
caller ID box, and it just rings with no answer.
